Paroxetine 40mg

Paroxetine is an antidepressant prescribed for treating depression and anxiety. It can also be used to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The use of a medication called Paroxetine (Xet) may be effective for reducing that anxiety and stress associated with PTSD.

Treating PTSD requires lots of cognitive therapy, but Paroxetine can help control the symptoms. There is no given guidelines for the duration as it all depends on the progress that the individual is able to make. When the doctor decides a person can be off of it, then the dose has to be gradually reduced. If the person stops taking it at once, they can have withdrawal symptoms.

The severity of the PTSD will be a factor when it comes to how much of this medicine is taken daily. For best results, it needs to be taken at the same time every day. Taking it with food can reduce the risk of nausea occurring. Make sure you tell your doctor about all products you take. Some of them including the herbal St. John’s Wort isn’t a good one to mix with Paroxetine.

One of the reasons many patients like this medicine for PTSD is that there are few or no side effects. You may have to deal with headaches and fatigue as your body gets used to the medicine. These side effects shouldn’t last more than a week or so and they shouldn’t be severe enough to interfere with your daily routine.
